Photoshop is the best choice, but not the cheapest.
If you want something that's free > GIMP is the way you need to go !

I usually create something in photoshop, then transfer and re-save it in paint anyway. Photoshop seems to enjoy appending it's profile into the bytestream of it's output files, which sometimes adds a considerable amount in filesize.

Cinema 4D is a 3D design & animation program, and can be quite tricky to get the hang of, so why you would recommend that to a beginner as a graphic design program I don't know. Also, why are you recommending R12, when R13 is the latest release?

Is that ever really an issue though? I can't think of many occasions where I've had troubles with images because of their file size, unless the image was huge and at a high resolution, in which case you'd need to learn how to optimize your save settings.
I couldn't imagine myself transferring everything I do into Paint just to shave off a few file bytes though.
Each to their own I guess.

Def. not the brightest answer, I would like you to beat Corel with Photoshop on vectors.
